It took me a while to land on this system. While a project sounds short-term to me, I’ve organized my tasks into categories of life: work, personal, side projects. Todoist uses the word projects for the different groups of tasks. Most task lists will have a way to organize and tag tasks into categories or projects. That doesn’t always work out and sometimes I need to tackle a different task because something more urgent comes up, but on days when I can choose to start with the most difficult task from my list. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” Mark Twain “If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning.

The way Todoist is set up, they have a few premade views that you can toggle through. But during the workday, I don’t want to see all of the tasks I need to work on outside of work, I just want to focus on my work tasks that are due that day. Like I mentioned, I use Todoist for every part of my life: grocery lists, work tasks, podcast work, anything that comes up. (Sad to report that these might be slightly less relevant if you are using pen and paper, though.) Here they are: View only work tasks during the workday I recently reflected on how I keep my tasks organized and realized that there are several specific things I do to stay organized that I can pass along to anyone, regardless of the to-do list platform that they use. ![]() I use one task list app ( Todoist) to run almost everything in my life.
